IBN `ABD RABBIHI (Abu `Umar Ahmad ibn Mohammed ibn `Abd Rabbihi) (860-940), Arabian poet, was born in Cordova. He enjoyed a great reputation for learning and eloquence. No diwan of his is extant, but many selections from his poems are given in the Yatimat ud-Dalir, i. 412-436 (Damascus, 1887). His great anthology, the `Iqd ul-Farid ("The Precious Necklace"), is an adab book (see ARABIA: Literature, section "Belles Lettres") resembling Ibn Qutaiba's `Uyun ul-Akhbar, from which it borrows largely. It has been printed several times in Cairo (1876, 1886).
